Yep, Twiggy.
She is now doing a big poster ad campaign for Marks and Spencers. Still looks bloody gorgeous.
im listening to Gary Hoey's version of "wipe out" right now. It's not half bad, not bad at all.

My favorite version is by Jerry Lee's cousin...can't remember his name...
k,d, lang's version of "Johnny Get Angry" is really spooky
Ex Go Go Belinda Carlisle did a damned fine cover of Freda Payne's 1970 smash Band of Gold - in fact, Payne liked Carlisle's treatment so much she recorded a duet of the piece with Carlisle.
Bonnie Bramlet did a great cover of Janis Joplin's Piece o' My Heart, and Joplin's Summertime was an outstanding rendition of Gershwin's oft-covered Porgy and Bess signature tune.
I've liked both kd Lang's and Jeff Buckley's versions of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'

The Isley Brothers did a version of "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" that was pretty fantastic.
you mean like Charlie Rich's one?
Earth Wind & Fire covered a Beatles tune expertly...but I can't remember the name...
Yep. The Charlie Rich one. They slowed it down and gave it a funkier slant.
EWF did the Beatles "Got to Get You Into My Life".
Stevie Wonder did a nice cover of "We Can Work It Out" too.
Holly Cole's cover of the Beatles' 'I'm only sleeping' is sublime.

Jeff Beck did a cover of the beatles' "a day in the life" and it's awesome.
Jeff Beck also did that beautiful cover of Stevie Wonder's "Cause We've Ended as Lovers."
Yep it's on his Wired album I believe, either that or Blow by Blow, come to think of it, it may be blow by blow, but my memory is hazy.
Blow by blow - and the Tamer is right - it's a fantastic version.
